It was a fitting ending for the best-ever season: a close, exciting, see-saw battle with the Cardinals of Wesleyan. When the dust had cleared, and four Trinity players had garnered hattricks, the Bantams had downed the Cardinals 14-10, to cap an outstanding 9-1 season. The year was perfectly summed up by a photograph in the next day's Hartford Courant: Trinity's all time great goalie Ann Madarasz and 1981 super-scorer Lisa Nolan ''jumping for joy'' after the hard-fought triumph. Trinity's nine victories - the best ever by a women's lacrosse team at Trinity -was offset by only a single loss; a 7-6 heartbreaker against Div. I University of Connecticut. Then the Bantam women turned right around and won six straight games to close out the spring.
